Thanks Flotsam. This is a great idea. One game I'm looking forward to is Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav. I think that would be #21 on my list. If I had more room I would also add the Monkey Island games and Tale of a Hero.

It's really amazing how world forgot about Legend Entertainment games :\ So I'll make a short list of their games that are a must play. All the other games are already listed. Let's get started.

1. Callahan's Crosstime Saloon (works in DosBox)2. Mission Critical (works in DosBox)3. Death Gate (works in DosBox)4. Superhero League of Hoboken (works in DosBox)5. Sword of Shannara (works in DosBox)6. Every other, older game from Legend Entertainment (works in DosBox)7. Indiana Jones and the fate of the Atlantis (works in DosBox or you can buy it on Steam)8. Grim Fandango9. Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition10. Secret of Monkey Island 2 Special Edition-----------------------------For more info on Legend Entertainment visit:

Hi sijacki,

The Annual List isn't about games that are worthy and forgotten, though, it's about games that we'd recommend to other gamers because we've played them and like them and wouldn't mind seeing some of them in the Hall of Fame!

Wow! I keep saying to myself, GK: Sins of the Fathers hasn't made the Hall of Fame yet! So I keep on voting for it. Hope springs eternal!

(The) Secret of Monkey Island (original version in ScummVM or original version in LucasArts version that's updated to run on newer systems)

Sentinel: Descendents in Time (aka Realms of Illusion)

Shivers

Still Life

Uru

Some of these (like Morpheus, Obsidian, and Shivers) might have to be played inside Virtual PC on 64-bit Windows 7. But a newbie to gaming isn't necessarily a newbie to running Virtual Machines, so I'm including these games anyway. I'd like to have included Schizm 2, but it had that problem with saving in the elevator level causing a dead end. Though I love all the RHEM games, I'm just including my favorite, RHEM 2, which was the "easiest" for me overall (not that any of them were easy).

That is a very high recommendation indeed, and before it's even out yet! Are you sure you're not the voodoo lady?

Wincey, I wish I was. That would be cool. I could cure all ailments. I would be known as the first person who found a cure for AIDS, and it would be a simple recipe: crocodile tongues, snake's venom, a toenail from an ex-boyfriend or girlfriend and Evian water. A voodoo lady needs a sponsor. The cost of living isn't cheap you know.

I know, I know. I recommend them with all my hearth GK1, yeah I almost forgot about that game. Truly on of the best and hardest I've played.

Wow! I keep saying to myself, GK: Sins of the Fathers hasn't made the Hall of Fame yet!

I agree, and I think the same about Obsidian -- another unique and amazing game. But GK1 is probably easier to get now that GOG and DotEMU both have DRM-free versions, updated to run on newer computers, available to download.

When exactly does a game makes it to the hall of fame? What threshold needs to be achieved?

Also, I understand the hall of fame is a reflection of the games that received the most votes over the years, but for the other games, how difficult would it be, if at all possible, to not only bring us this year's most preferred ones, but also an overall view compilation of all previous years as well?

The basis for the Hall of fame is hereWe decided to add Lost Crown this year as even though it doesn't have the longevity of some games, it has been top of the List the last two years and has only ever had Hall of Fame games finish in front of it. We debated waiting another year, but agreed it was a worthy entrant despite its "newness".Not sure what you mean by a compilation, but as the counter and compiler with Chief my initial reaction is

There are already two sequels of the Jonathan Hunt Adventures, but in printed books:) They were published in Hungarian. Yoomurjak's Ring is the first one (the novel was based on the game) and the second is titled The Devil's Stone (none of them have been tranlsated yet, maybe some time...) And the second game is planned, based on this novel, so let's hope everything goes well!
